Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

"I went to bed early. Didn't you say that my schedule isn't like that of a musician?"

Of course Ito Rin didn't believe such words, so she sat in front of her and looked at Hongxia straight. When she finished eating the apple and couldn't hide it anymore, she covered her head with the quilt and complained in a low voice.

"Who told you two to slack off, especially you. I asked you something, but before we could even say a few words, you found an excuse to run away. In the end, the band's plans fell on me."

"I'm not as smart as you guys, so I can only think of more ways. Sometimes I sleep late without realizing it."

"Cough cough."

Ito Rin did not expect that the reason could be attributed to her.

He did catch a little bit of fish, but he thought it was not a big deal. Who knew Hong Xia thought so far and even planned the future development of the band.

"Want to eat?"

After thinking it over, he could only utter these words, causing Hong Xia to pull back the quilt, sit up straight, and look at him angrily.

"No matter how angry you are, you have to eat first. As for the band's mission..."

"I can't be so perfunctory when I ask you to work next time." She said seriously, and after seeing Ito Rin nod helplessly, she showed a satisfied smile: "Also, can you cook?"

"Don't underestimate smart people." Ito Rin was very confident.

He always believed that it was unnecessary for him not to know how to cook. Whenever he needed to, he could make good home-cooked meals by relying on his intelligence and learning a little from online tutorials.

"Whatever you want to eat, let this chef satisfy your wish."

"Hmm, doesn't look very trustworthy."

Hongxia gave the answer hesitantly, then got up and watched him cook.

"How about we go out for dinner? I'll treat you." Ito Rin said calmly.

"Fool!"

"I am number one in my grade."

"That's the number one idiot in the grade."

"You... forget it, don't bother with the patient."

After comforting herself, Ito Rin felt annoyed as she looked at the messy kitchen.

It's easy to do chores, but when it comes to putting the cut vegetables together, why do unexpected reactions occur?

"I should be the one arguing with you, clean up the kitchen quickly."

After scolding him, Hongxia returned to the room.

She changed out of her home clothes and put on a white shirt. Her slender legs felt the pleated skirt brushing against them. After thinking carefully, she took out some stockings from the closet and put them on. They didn't look much different from the school uniform.

Because I was sick, I wore a coat over my thin shirt.

Standing in front of the mirror, Hong Xia looked at the figure in the mirror. Her face was a little pale due to illness, but the youthful aura she exuded was so strong that she couldn't help but fall in love with herself.

When she walked out of the bedroom, she could still hear strange noises coming from the kitchen, so she went to the bathroom and put on some light makeup.

Her lips became pinker and her skin whiter. If she was going out with someone of the same sex, she might not have behaved like this, but after all, she was going out to eat alone with a boy.

Can't be outdone by Ito Rin.

With such determination, she walked into the living room. Ito Rin's clothes seemed to be covered with dust, but when he stood upright, people would inadvertently ignore external things and focus on him as a person.

There was a flash of surprise in Ito Rin's eyes. She didn't expect that after Hong Xia just dressed up a little and stopped being obsessed with her tacky overalls, her appearance would improve by more than one level.

"Let's go."

After checking the kitchen, Hongxia pushed open the door.

When I came out, it was dark and the streets of Shimokitazawa were lit up.

"What should the store manager do?"

Ito Rin, who was looking for dinner tonight, suddenly said.

"Sister is an adult, we don't need to worry about her." Hongxia took a fancy to a sushi restaurant not far away.

The love between sisters can only be revealed when something big happens.

After walking into the store and sitting down, they ordered two signature dishes and Ito Rin spoke first.

"You started practicing your signature too?"

"Cough cough." Hong Xia coughed a few times and immediately acted weak: "I'm sick."

"Well, that has nothing to do with my question. 'When the band becomes famous, be prepared to face fans' requests for autographs. If your handwriting is bad, it will be absolutely embarrassing!' You wrote that."

"It's fine if you look at girls' stuff, but you actually questioned me with illegally obtained information!"

Hongxia glared at him and avoided the question of signature.

"I'm sorry." Ito Rin apologized readily, his inquiring eyes still fixed on her.

"You... don't look at me. I wrote it, so what? Ryo and Pochi-chan are both practicing. Is there anything wrong with me fantasizing?"

Hongxia tried to repeat herself in a calm tone, but the way her hands handled the sushi revealed her inner restlessness.

He originally wanted to maintain the image of a reliable leader in the band, so he wouldn't act like Ryo.

As a result, such narcissistic behavior was discovered by Ito Rin.

"no problem."

Ito Rin was about to laugh, but he had to hold it back to take care of the patient's emotions, which made his face twisted.

Seeing that Hongxia's eyes were becoming more and more strange, Ito Rin, who was worried that she would not be able to leave the restaurant, abruptly changed the subject.

"Have you sent a message to the store manager? Otherwise, she will be anxious to go home to take care of her sister and find that you are not at home."

"Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Hong Xia yawned. "I said my friend came to see me and we went out to eat together. She was a little angry."

"Turns out I'm just a friend. I thought our closest relationship would be teammates." Ito Rin joked.

Hongxia's expression became calm, and she pulled the hair that had fallen to her shoulders, with some hesitation in her tone.

"you……"

"I couldn't be sure for a moment, what exactly are you?"

Ito Rin was feeling uneasy. After waiting for a long time for such an answer, she ate a few more mouthfuls of food out of depression.

"I'm Ito Rin, your teammate, classmate, and good friend."

"Forget about being good friends." Hong Xia said disdainfully, "If I want to become good friends with someone like Ito-kun, there will probably be a lot of trouble."

"What……"

"Ryo is about to eat me alive if we're just ordinary friends now. If we become good friends, I'll be miserable."

"You're scared." Ito Rin confirmed.

"How is that possible?" Her voice got louder. "It's just that I feel that the cost of becoming good friends is so high that it's not worth it."

"I'm still scared."

"...I'm too lazy to talk to you. Don't leave when you get back. I want to give you some of the work."

"You're not a good friend but you still want me to help you. It seems like I'm the unlucky one." Ito Rin complained to herself. When she saw that she had finished her meal, she took the initiative to pay the bill.

"This is a contribution to the team, and I'm with you." The diligent captain educated the lazy deputy captain, but in return he received the other party's absent-minded perfunctory response.

"I see, so what's the benefit."

Hongxia put her hands on her hips and looked at Ito Rin, feeling that he was hopeless.

Are you thinking about the benefits of this kind of thing?

Ito Rin, who had just spoken smoothly, reacted and was about to explain clearly, but under the light, Hongxia lifted up her long yellow hair and opened her pink lips.

"Your work must satisfy me before I can benefit you."

"Really? What is it?"

Hongxia glared at the tactless man unhappily, ignored his questions, and walked towards home.

According to her condition today, post-dinner activities should be avoided, but she had no objection, so Ito Rin had to put her hands in her pockets and follow her.

Her long yellow hair fell on her back like a waterfall, she wore a black pleated skirt, and not-too-thick stockings, and she walked in the neighborhood in sneakers without making much noise.

"Ugh."

She, who was walking in front, sighed, turned around and looked at Ito Rin.

"Does it look good?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I was just looking at the scenery." Ito Rin flatly denied it and would never admit that he was looking at her openly from behind.

Mainly because it is really pretty...

Hongxia didn't bother with his stubbornness. Instead, she gave a holy smile and pointed to the seat next to her, asking Ito Rin to come over.

"Let me make it clear in advance that I'm not doing this out of guilt." Ito Rin stood beside her, and the girl's scent entered her nose.

"If you explain further, even a fool can see that there is something wrong with you." Hong Xia put her hands in her coat and said lazily.

The effects of the cold were almost gone, so she planned to walk further away.

"Is it that obvious?" Ito Rin asked doubtfully.

She burst out laughing, then tightened her face, trying to look angry.

"Sure enough, even idiots were amused, and my acting skills have actually deteriorated." Ito Rin sighed and started to perform exaggeratedly.

"Go to hell you."

Unable to bear his teasing, classmate Hong Xia chose to solve the problem with force. In the end, the two of them continued to fight and found a bench on the side of the road to sit down.

"You're like this, do you still need to take a day off tomorrow?"

Ito Rin felt that her energetic performance did not seem like she was sick.

“Do you think students will feel that they have too many holidays?” she asked rhetorically.

Ito Rin expressed her understanding, and after conveying Mr. Fujino's greetings, she prepared to rest for a while before going home.

When he stood up, Hongxia was still sitting there, staring at Ito Rin with her eyes as clear as autumn water.

"Ok?"

"Ask a question." Hong Xia said softly.

Ito Rin didn't know why she was so serious: "Hongxia, please speak."

"Do you like me?"

Ito Rin stared at Hongxia with wide eyes, her expression was serious, and she stood up, her white legs revealed as her pleated skirt swayed.

"nonsense……"

Halfway through his excuse, under her gaze, Ito Rin shrugged helplessly and simply pulled Hong Xia back to sit on the chair.

"I already know that you are a complete scumbag." She sat down obediently, "So there is no need to continue pretending in front of me. I am a little in love with myself today, so it is understandable that you can't control yourself."

"Captain Ijichi, from whom did you learn your narcissistic skills?"

“Everyone has narcissistic moments.”

"I don't."

"This statement is the greatest narcissism. It's time to answer my question."

"Are you really a genius? Or is it that Hong Xia has fallen in love with me like everyone else, which is why she asked such a question? But we are really just ordinary friends, and you have certified this."

Ijichi Hongxia looked at Ito Rin and smiled: "You are changing the subject like crazy. You are guilty."

"I'm sorry, this is just my personal speaking habit."

Ito Rin finally suppressed her excited heartbeat.

Is it really that obvious that Hongxia asked about it and Liangjiang is always suspicious of him?

When she said this, she was probably thinking similar things as him.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Excellent people will always be attracted to each other, not to mention that they spend so much time together.
